Customer Review Summary

The soft play area paired with the cafe draws the most attention, with reviewers describing it as clean and safe, popular for children's birthday parties complete with party bags, hats and cake, and convenient for parents working remotely while kids play. Close behind, the food itself gets steady praise: fresh, well presented dishes like the dirty chips with mayonnaise and cheese, the Chicken Goujon kids' meal, and vegan pancakes among the breakfast and brunch options. Coffee draws mixed comments, with one reviewer finding the Costa coffee weak while toast came out perfect. A recurring complaint is value, with a few calling the food overpriced, and one reviewer describing an all day breakfast ordered at 1:30pm as too hard to chew, with hard chips as well. Service is generally called friendly and welcoming, though slow at times, and the location beside a nursery and soft play can make it noisy on busier days.

Featured reviews

  • Joshua South
    “Food is overpriced and not that brilliant. Soft play looks good and air conditioned. There are changing facilities and plenty of parking.”
  • James Tidd
    “Come here on Fridays with a few friends. Very welcoming, but being in the same location as a nursery and a soft play playground, it can be a bit noisy at times.”
  • William Johnson
    “Really nice spot in Norwich. The food tasted fresh and well prepared, and the portions were just right. Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome without being over the top. Service was a bit slow at times but nothing too bad. The place has a cozy vibe and feels clean. I would come back again.”
  • Kara Dawson
    “We had a children’s birthday party here. We had 1.5 hrs play and then meal for all of the children. Party bags were provided. We added party hats and birthday cake. It is a great space. Clean and tidy. Lovely food and drink. We had a lovely time and would recommend.”
  • Toyin Nana
    “I was at Williams Kitchen for the first time today, and it was a nice experience. The place was clean, bright, and spacious, which I liked. The food was well-presented, and we had the dirty chips with mayonnaise and cheese along with the Chicken Goujon kids' meal deal. The food was good.”
